Calling All Men: Color Gray Hair Naturally with Lustrous Henna®

Calling All Men:
Why Color Your Gray Hair Naturally?

Progressive chemical dyes and hair color formulas have been targeted at men for the past 40 years. These change the color gradually. Did you know that Grecian Formula was banned in Canada and European countries because it contained lead acetate, at the time? It is still sold and approved for use in the United States, but it must carry a warning label about the lead acetate in the product* marketed in the states.  

Permanent and semi-permanent synthetic dyes contain extremely harmful and toxic chemicals like P-Phenylenediamine (PPD), ammonia, peroxide, lead acetate and a slew of others that can cause damage to the hair shaft. They also have caused severe allergic reaction on the scalp, neck and face of several dermatologists’ patients.

The primary reason most men color their hair is to rid themselves of gray hair in order to look and feel younger. Some long for black hair, brown hair color or just their natural hair color. While, there is certainly nothing wrong with that, men should also pay attention to warnings on the packages of chemical dyes. 

Calling All Men:

Calling All Men: 
Lustrous Henna^® Hair Dye from a Male Perspective

"Love your product! I am 85% grey and ordered the Lustrous Henna Soft Black along with the Indigo. I used three parts of Lustrous Henna Soft Black and one part of Indigo. I love the results. I got a very dark brown to black color hair which was exactly what I was looking for.

I used chemical dyes two or three times and developed severe reactions to the chemicals used in those products. With the Lustrous Henna Soft Black and Indigo I just get great looking hair with no reactions. Would recommend to anyone looking for natural products".

Natural Men Use Plant-based Hair Dye –Avoid Risking Health

Natural Men Know Plant-based Hair Dye is Safer

Natural men agree that the only natural vegetable hair dye approved by the FDA is: 100% natural henna hair dye. You don't take risks with your health. You use all natural henna hair dye to cover gray hair and get back your natural hair color.

Lustrous Henna^® hair dye is non-toxic, completely safe and 100% natural, plant-based hair dye. It’s pure henna extract in powder form combined with the extract of other plants that are well known for their hair treatment benefits. It has a very quick dye release and is very simple to apply. It comes in various shades and has been praised by several satisfied male users. In fact, the inspiration behind Lustrous Henna® hair dye, Syed Abbas, is male and uses it to cover his gray, too.

Natural Men Don’t Use Progressive Hair Dye

Did you know that a there exists a gray hair dye alternative for men that conditions hair naturally? Many men use progressive hair dye because they're unaware of a safer, natural hair dye alternative to color gray hair. Progressive hair dye and hair color formulas have been targeted at men for decades to cover their gray hair. These change the gray hair color gradually.

Due to allergic reaction to harmful chemicals, did you know that Grecian Formula was banned in Canada and European countries because it contained lead acetate at the time? It is still sold and approved for use in the United States to color gray hair, but it must carry a warning label about the lead acetate in the product marketed in the states. Why risk potential allergic reaction?

Natural men know that permanent and semi-permanent synthetic dyes usually contain extremely harmful and toxic chemicals like p-phenylenediamine (PPD), ammonia, peroxide, lead acetate and a slew of others that can cause damage to the natural hair shaft. These chemicals also have caused severe allergic reaction on the scalp, neck and face of several dermatologists’ patients. Growing allergic reaction is one of the reasons dermatologists recommend a using natural hair dye to color hair such as a henna hair dye.

Natural Hair Care Recipes and Grooming Tips for Real Men

Real Men’s Natural Hair Care Recipes

Real Men: Give Yourself a Scalp Message

A regular scalp massage helps prevent hair loss and promotes healthy hair growth. Start by gently massaging hair with oil known to benefit hair and scalp such as: almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil (eevo). Cover hair with plastic cap for 15-20 minutes. Follow up with a small paste of Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder and water; gently rinse out (no need for additional conditioner). Lustrous Henna^®Shampoo Powder contains cleansing and conditioning ingredients that have been used for thousands of years to nourish and condition hair; prevent hair fall; stop dandruff and more. 

Naturally Condition Hair for Real Men with Brahmi Powder

Using Saba’s Pure Brahmi Powder, make a paste matching the consistency of thick pancake batter. Immediately apply the paste to your scalp area, touching hair roots; then to rest of hair. Start gently massaging the paste into the scalp by using small circular motions. Cover hair with plastic cap for about an hour, and then wash out with a natural shampoo, like Lustrous Henna^® Shampoo Powder. This routine can be followed weekly. Brahmi is an ancient traditional remedy used to nourish and thicken hair.

Real Men Prevent Split Ends with Amla and Shikakai

Make a paste of approximately 4 tablespoons of water and 1-2 tablespoons each of the Amla and Shikakai powders. Apply paste to completely cover the hair.  Using a plastic cap, cover hair for about 15-20 minutes, then gently rinse out.  Note: Split ends can be prevented and repaired by using Saba’s Pure Amla Powder and Saba’s Pure Shikakai Powder.  Amla is known to condition and heal damaged hair. Shikakai is an ancient fruit that grows on trees, called, “fruit for hair”.

Real Men Don’t Forget Balanced Nutrition for Healthy Hair

Your diet is really important. It’s essential to eat healthy food like vegetables, fruits, milk products help make your hair healthy. A nutrient-rich balanced diet filled with lean protein; omega-3 fatty acids; zinc; vitamins A, C, B-12; iron; biotin; and calcium. Healthy eating is not only important for healthy hair, it's absolutely essential.   

Real Men’s Natural Grooming Tips to Remember

• Sport the hairstyle that defines you and your personality; however, be aware of your surroundings. Nowadays, it’s usually not important, as long as you look groomed. Yet, we know that circumstances might dictate the hairstyle we select.
• Got a mustache or Beard? Trim and shape it daily.
• Love the unshaven, stubble look? Keep it trimmed and look good, not haggard!
• Define your manly eyebrows, by separating and neatly trimming. Lots of emotion is expressed with your eyebrows, so avoid the ‘no-care’ and out-of-control manic look.
• Trim your nose hairs so that they are not visible. ‘Nuf said.
• Ear hair: Ditto (just like nose hairs).
• Hairy neck? Clean up that nape. If you can’t do it, have your barber shape it for you.
• Keep your sideburns trims; they really shouldn’t cover your ears.

Real men remember: A regular hair care and grooming routine will bring many benefits, plus -you’ll look great!

Grow Healthy Hair from the Inside Out with Water

Water Essential to Grow Healthy Hair

Arthur Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology states "the total amount of water in a man of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 litres, averaging 57 percent of his total body weight. In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 79 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age, most of the decrease occurring during the first 10 years of life. * This all means that our entire body, including our hair, needs a constant supply of water to be healthy.

Water also makes up 25% of our hair shaft. Our roots draw water from inside our skin and transport it to the tips of every hair. Logic thus dictates that in order to keep that much water in our hair shaft, we must do it from the inside out.  Water is an absolute necessity for healthy skin and hair nourishment. For well-hydrated cells, we must drink adequate amounts of water. This can mean the difference between having moisturized, healthy growing, and radiant natural hair or dry, brittle, and lifeless hair -caused by chronic dehydration of natural hair.

Healthy Hair Regimen

Although there is no single, strict regimen that everyone should adhere to for assured growth of natural hair, there are common factors that apply to all. Lifestyle, diet and hair type must factor into a healthy hair maintenance routine.

Lifestyle

An active lifestyle that includes regular exercise helps stimulate the blood flow. Nutrient-rich blood nourishes the hair follicles and this promotes healthy hair growth. Insufficient blood flow from a sedentary lifestyle won’t help the hair follicles. Additionally, stress is known to cause hair loss and a good exercise routine helps eliminate stress. So, exercise is another great aid to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth. Finally, when we exercise, we avoid chronic dehydration because our bodies crave…guess what? Water.

Hair Type

"Hair type" is a hot topic in current news. Hair type can be straight, curly, and various textures. Basically, our hair type help determines the way we would care for and maintain our hair for healthy hair growth. A simple example is that daily maintenance and styling of naturally curly hair is usually different than daily maintenance of naturally straight hair, even though all hair needs nourishment, proper cleaning and conditioning.

Diet and Nutrition

A well-balanced nutritious diet can help promote human hair growth. That means drinking adequate amounts of water. The vitamins and minerals you get from your healthy food will enter your bloodstream quicker when there is sufficient water to assist them to do their job.  Water also helps your body eliminate toxins that can interfere with healthy hair growth.

Final Note on Water and Hair Growth

Don’t deprive your natural hair of this magnificent “water cycle” going on in our own bodies. If you do, you will not only damage your hair, causing it to become dry and brittle, it may stop growing permanently. Therefore, to help your natural hair reach its maximum growth potential:

Water your hair from the inside out!

Scalp Care - Scalp Treatment Recipes that Work Naturally

About Scalp Treatment Recipes

The scalp should be gently cleansed of debris from hair treatments and products at least once monthly. A good natural scalp scrub needs to be applied with a GENTLE touch. Too harsh or heavy-handed of a massage can cause harm to the scalp by simply being too abrasive. So cleanse your hair and scalp naturally with a very gentle touch.

Baking soda is a natural scalp treatment and hair cleanser. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) adds moisture and controls frizz. Pure Amla Powder is a cleansing agent for the hair and scalp; Amla Powder also protects from dandruff, also helps prevent premature graying. Amla Powder stimulates growth of hair; as a scalp treatment, helps to strengthen the hair roots.  Tea tree oil is an effective antifungal and antiseptic scalp treatment; don’t use too much to avoid ‘burning’ the scalp.

Baking Soda Scalp Treatment and Hair Cleanse 

½  cup of Baking Soda

2-3 tablespoons of Pure Amla Powder

¼ cup of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

5 drops of Tea Tree Oil

½ to 1 cup water (add enough to make a thin paste) 

Directions: Mix baking soda, amla powder, with oils and water until well blended. Apply mixture to hair. Gently massage scrub on scalp in circular motion. After two or three minutes, rinse out with warm water. 

Apple Cider Vinegar Clarifying Rinse 

½ cup Apple Cider Vinegar

2 cups of water

5 drops each of the following (to minimize vinegar smell):

Rosemary or Peppermint Oil

Sage or Lavender Oil

Directions: Close eyes tightly (you DON’T want this in your eyes) as you tilt head back; pour mixture through hair from root to ends. If needed, tilt head forward to cover hair completely. (Save any remaining mixture, if desired). After a minute or two, rinse with cold water to seal in moisture.

Conditioning Hot Oil Therapy Scalp Treatment for Healthy Hair

Before going to bed (or anytime you have an extra 6-8 hours to wear a plastic cap), massage hot oil into your scalp (Be careful not to make it too hot-should still be able to touch it without scalding your fingers).  It can be almond, coconut, rosemary, jojoba, lavender, EEVO (extra-virgin olive oil or any other oil known for promoting healthy hair growth. You can also mix the oils, if you desire.*

Cover hair with a plastic cap or wrap and hair bonnet/scarf. (Sleep on a towel to protect pillow from possible leaking). In the morning, (before bathing) mix a little lemon juice and acv (apple cider vinegar) together and apply it to your scalp, dabbing with a soft cloth.  Leave on for about 5 minutes and rinse out. Wash hair with Lustrous Henna Dry Shampoo Powder (made into a paste). Cover hair with plastic cap. Leave shampoo powder on hair for 5 minutes and rinse out. This will also help prevent dandruff and hair loss.

Moisturize your strands from the roots to tip with a moisturizing conditioner that won’t weigh your hair down. Olive oil is a great source of Vitamin E and Eggs are protein-rich.

Side notes: Cold pressed and cold processed castor oil is also beneficial to the scalp, but heavy on the hair, so try and concentrate  on the scalp; it's okay to touch the roots but, try to avoid getting castor oil into to the rest of hair (since it can be hard to wash out if entire head is saturated).

*Don’t want to leave it on all night long? No worries. You can also use a hot, moist towel until the towel cools (about twenty minutes). Follow up as mentioned in the preceding instructions.

Scalp Care -Treatment that Works Naturally for All Hair Types

Scalp Treatment from Within

One of the most overlooked ways to avoid scalp damage is simple to have a healthy hair maintenance routine. The most important part of healthy hair maintenance starts from inside your body: Eat a balanced diet each day with lots of water aids in growing healthy hair and preventing scalp damage. Get your blood circulating, with fresh green veggies and raw fruit. Don’t forget to include protein-rich foods for scalp treatment that works ‘from the inside out’.

Scalp Treatment with Regular Maintenance

To stimulate the cells and blood flow, a daily basic scalp massage along with a weekly deep scalp massage is absolutely essential. Get in the habit of using this proven stress reducer. Who doesn't love a good scalp massage?

Basic Scalp Massage

• Beginning with the top of your forehead, use your fingertips and gently rub your hairline, forming little circles. Continue the circular massage along the sides toward the back of your head.
• Massage in the small circular motion from the back nape of your neck up to the crown of your head, ending in the front -where you started.
• Only 10 minutes a day are needed and a daily consistent routine. (Twice a day is even better).

Weekly Deep Massage

• Beat 2 eggs with 2 tablespoons of water. Apply to WET hair.
• While egg mixture is on your hair, perform the basic circular scalp massage.
• Leave mixture on for another 10-15 minutes. Rinse hair with lukewarm water, followed by Lustrous Henna Dry Shampoo Powder (made into a paste).
• Cover hair with plastic cap.  Leave shampoo powder on hair for 5 minutes and rinse out.

Hot Olive Oil Treatment (HOOT)

Warm up 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in the microwave for around 15 seconds. Pour into the palm of your hand and gently massage it into the hair -from scalp to ends- until complete saturated. Cover with a plastic cap and damp towel. Wait for at least 30 minutes. Rinse out using a mild shampoo like Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder. (You don’t really need to use a conditioner, but if you insist, try Imbue™ Natural Conditioner by Saba Botanical of USA.)

Scalp Treatment Recipes

The scalp should be gently cleansed of debris from hair treatments and products at least once monthly. A good natural scalp scrub needs to be applied with a GENTLE touch. Too harsh or heavy-handed of a massage can cause harm to the scalp by simply being too abrasive. So cleanse your hair and scalp naturally with a very gentle touch. This will help your scalp produce healthy hair.
